DNA methylation profiles reveal possible role of highly methylated TLR signaling on Fasciola gigantica excretory/secretory products (FgESPs) modulation of buffalo DCs [MeDIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To investigate whether FgESP affects the (hydroxyl)methylation level of DCs Methods: we have profiled the DNA methylome by using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-Seq) in the current study Results: DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation profiles revealed significant changes in the 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) levels in the promoter regions of 5432 genes and significant changes in the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) levels in 360 genes when DCs were treated with FgESPs. These differentially expressed genes were highly enriched in pathways associated with immune function. The characterizations of DCs were assessed using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM) and quantitative reverse transcriptional PCR (qRT-PCR). Our results demonstrated that FgESPs could markedly suppress DC maturation by down-regulating the expression of membrane phenotypic markers, such as CD1a, MHC II. The functional enrichment analysis found hypermethylation of genes, especially in the NF-κB signaling pathway, and transcription was unchanged or low for the TLR2, TLR4, and IL-12 genes in DCs. Thus, we suggest a possible mechanism of FgESPs in suppressing TLR signaling pathway-dependent DC maturation and function. Moreover, there were 111 genes demonstrating changes in both 5-mC and 5-hmC levels, and 12 of which were enriched and interconnected in pathways associated with the inflammatory response. It is interesting to note that certain cancer-related pathways were indicated in our analysis, such as ‘pathways in cancer’. Conclusion: For the first time, our study provides a genome-wide mapping of DNA (hydroxyl)methylation for DCs that interacted with FgESPs. Our study also suggests a possible immunoregulatory mechanism of FgESPs that acts by increasing DNA methylation levels on genes and pathways associated with TLR signaling.

Project description:Pro-inflammation triggered by microbial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 in the presence of interferon (IFN)-g induces cytokine secretion in dendritic cells (DCs) tightly regulated by a defined differentiation program. This DC differentiation is characterized by a dynamic immune activating but also tolerance inducing phenotype associated with irreversible down-modulation of cytokines. CD40L on activated T cells further modifies DC differentiation. Using DNA micro arrays we showed down-regulated mRNA levels of TLR signaling molecules while CD40/CD40L signaling molecules were up-regulated at a time when LPS/IFN-g activated DCs have ceased cytokine expression. Accordingly we demonstrated that CD40/CD40L but not TLR4 or TLR3 signaling mediated by LPS or poly (cytidylic-inosinic) acid (poly I:C) and dsRNA re-established the capacity to secret interleukin (IL)-12 in LPS/IFN-g activated DCs, which have exhausted their potential for cytokine secretion. This resulting TH1 polarizing DC phenotype â which lacked accompanying secretion of the crucial immune suppressive IL-10 - enhanced activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). We therefore conclude that immune modulation is restricted to a secondary T-cell mediated stimulus at an exhausted DC state which prevents an immune tolerant DC phenotype. These findings impacts on the rational design of TLR activated DC-based cancer vaccines for the induction of anti-tumoral CTL responses. Experiment Overall Design: Monocyte derived DCs were matured for 6 hours with 30 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS, E. coli strain O111:B4, Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) and 1.000 U/ml IFN-g (Imukin, Boehringer Ingelheim, Austria). RNA of DCs was isolated after 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours of maturation using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and analyzed by the RZPD (German Resource Centre for Genome Research, Berlin) using the Affymetrix DNA micro array platform (U133 plus 2.0). DNA array data from different maturation-time experiments were compared to controls that were kept in culture for the same time without stimulation.

Project description:DNA methylation (5-mC) and hydroxymethylation (5-hmC) are regarded as important epigenetic hallmarks in the carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer by transcriptional regulation. 5hmC is an intermediate during active demethylation and maintains the equilibrium of DNA methylation. Previous studies on DNA methylation don’t differentiate 5-hmC from 5-mC. Here, in order to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms of carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer, we integrate genome wide levels of 5-mC, 5-hmC and Transcriptional expression. 12 samples, including six colorectal tumor tissues and corresponding normal colonic tissues were recruited after surgery. Genome-wide DNA methylation was determined by methylated DNA immune- precipitation sequencing (MeDIP-seq), and hydroxymethylation by hydroxyl- methylated DNA immune-precipitation sequencing (hMedip-seq). Transcriptional expression was determined by RNA-seq. Group-wise different methylation region (DMR), different hydroxyl methylation region (DhMR) and different expressed gene (DEG) were identified. Epigenetic biomarkers were screened by integrating DMR, DhMR and DEG. We found that a genome-scale distinct hydroxymethylation pattern could be used as epigenetic biomarker for clearly differentiating colorectal cancer from normal tissues. 59249 differentially methylated regions (DMR), 187172 differentially hydroxymethylated region (DhMR) and 948 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. After cross-matched genes containing DMRs or DhMRs with DEGs, seven genes were screened. Furthermore, hypermethylation of HADHB was persistently found to be correlated with its down-regulation of transcription in CRC, potentially suggesting its role as TSG. The differences of methylation, hydroxymethylation and transcriptional expression in HADHB between cancerous and normal tissues were validated among additional colorectal cancer patients. To further validate this assumption, we also performed functional analysis and found that the expression of HADHB obviously reduced cancer cells migration and invasiveness. This study provided valuable basic data for screening epigenetic biomarkers and elucidated the epigenetic mechanisms of carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer.
